Property Description
Calling all creatives, visionaries, and urban pioneers-this rare 1889 Victorian row house in Chicago's East Garfield Park offers historic soul, architectural detail, and the foundation for a truly inspiring transformation. With 10-foot ceilings, original wood millwork, a rare double stairwell, pocket doors, and stunning stained glass windows and skylights, this 4-bedroom home delivers character at every turn. Over 2,100 sq ft of living space, a partially finished basement, and an unfinished attic with a sloped ceiling (ranging from 3.5 ft to 6 inches) give you room to reimagine and restore. This home isn't just charming-it's solid. Double-pane, hurricane-rated vinyl windows from Window World come with a transferable lifetime warranty and nylon screens. A modified bitumen roof (installed 2011) covers both the main house and the newly built coach house and has been professionally recoated every year-still looks new. The main house boiler was replaced in 2004, and the Trane furnace in the coach house was installed in 2013. AC units (4-5 total) will stay with the home. The brand-new 1-bedroom coach house sits atop a heated 2-car garage and features modern amenities including a full kitchen with stainless steel appliances, in-unit washer/dryer, solar-powered lighting, and private heating/cooling-perfect as a rental, guest suite, or creative studio space. The backyard offers a peaceful escape with a heated walkway, custom deck with ceiling fan, and a thoughtfully designed garden filled with roses, tulips, grapevines, and raspberries-perfect for quiet reflection or entertaining. This is more than a property-it's a chance to craft something meaningful. Whether you're a preservationist, investor, or just someone looking to bring a one-of-a-kind home back to life in a community with soul and growth potential, this East Garfield Park gem is ready for its next chapter.
